You've achieved many milestones such as education, career growth, and being a dependable support for friends and family, often neglecting your own self-care due to the fear of being labeled as selfish. Right?
You're always busy working, volunteering, and striving for more, seeking validation and acceptance through your accomplishments, while hiding your fears and self-doubt from others, afraid to reveal your true self and risk being vulnerable.
You frequently doubt yourself and others, worry about how people perceive you, and tend to prioritize others' needs over your own, resulting in negative emotions like resentment, shame, and guilt.
You used to feel proud of being the go-to person for everyone, but now you realize that expressing your own needs often goes unheard or unacknowledged, and you're growing tired of being constantly relied on by others. You feel stuck in this pattern and unsure if there's a way out.
However, you are aware that a change is necessary.
It can be challenging to adapt to change because we have become accustomed to navigating the world in certain ways that have made us feel safe and secure. Nevertheless, as we progress and encounter new experiences, some of the methods we have used to cope with situations may no longer be effective and may even cause more problems.
